I am recently upgrading my project to Hibernate 6 with spring boot 3, I get below error

Here are the bean definations for the same

This seems to be a classpath problem: your application cannot find the jakarta.transaction.SystemException class. Please check the versions of libraries used in your project are compatible with each other and have all the required dependencies.

Classpath dependencies are upgraded to support hibernate 6/ Spring boot 3. May not be a classpath issue, can it be this due to dataSource config isssue ? Since I use Apache DBCP2 and it still has javax imports instead jakarta ?

DBCP2 and it still has javax imports instead jakarta

That does indeed sound like it might cause conflicts; you should always use compatible framework versions, in this case everything should support the Jakarta 3.1 spec.

Sorry but this is an Hibernate forum, so unless you have an hibernate-specific question I’m not sure I’ll be able to help you further than this.
